I've been a little (OK, a LOT) lax with this lately and need to get started up again. I really like this idea as it puts me back in touch with ancestors I sometime forget ~ people not in my direct line.

April 12, 1840 ~ My great-great-grand Uncle William RITCHIE was born in Blebo Craig, Fife, Scotland. An exciting note about this relative is that I've just had a contact from someone still living in Scotland whose husband is a direct descendant of William. YEAH!!

I love this sort of post! I am addicted to timelines for my kith 'n kin. I can almost "hear" my nieces rolling their eyeballs at me when I happen to "mention" on the phone that, "Oh, by the way, today happens to be the day your 3rd great-grandma was dragged to death by the hair of her head!" :)
